I read this at the first organizational meeting. I wanted to post it
for group input. I feel like it really states what a cooperative is
all about and what I hope each member of this co-op can represent.

O Organic - Naturally grown
O Organized - Working together for everyone's benefit
P Perpetual - From one generation to the next
E Economic stability - Providing a living wage for all
R Respect - Everyone's point of view is important
A Alaska grown/produced - Developing a year-round
sustainable system
T Tradition - Share the secrets of ancestral knowledge
I Interactive - Creates opportunity for community
involvement
V Vibrant - Celebrating the "colors" of Alaska

healthier life
